Por ocasião da Conferência da SEG, em Houston (EUA), a Schlumberger e a EMGS apresentaram os primeiros resultados do projeto realizado em conjunto pelas duas empresas na região sub-sal do Golfo do México.

De acordo com o release distribuido pela EMGS, o resultado demonstrou que o uso do método eletromagnético (EM) fornece uma melhoria significativa nas imagens PDM (prestack depth migration) por baixo das estruturas salinas complexas em comparação às imagens sísmicas sozinhas.

EMGS presents the first results from the sub-salt project in the US Gulf of Mexico

At the SEG conference in Houston, Schlumberger and EMGS presented the first results from their joint sub-salt project in the US Gulf of Mexico. The results show that using EM provides significant improvement in prestack depth migrated images compared to seismic alone under complex salt structures.

This is the first time EM data has been used to improve seismic images below complex salt structures.

"We are excited to see such substantial improvement in the early stages of the application of the EM technology below salt and look forward to presenting this solution to the industry together with Schlumberger. We firmly believe that this will create substantial value to our clients," says Roar Bekker, CEO of EMGS.

About EMGS

EMGS, the marine EM market leader, uses its proprietary electromagnetic (EM) technology to support oil and gas companies in their search for offshore hydrocarbons. EMGS supports each stage in the workflow, from survey design and data acquisition to processing and interpretation. The company's services enable integration of EM data with seismic and other geophysical and geological information to give explorationists a clearer and more complete understanding of the subsurface. This improves exploration efficiency, and reduces risks and the finding costs per barrel.

EMGS has conducted more than 700 surveys to improve drilling success rates across the world's mature and frontier offshore basins. The company operates on worldwide basis with main offices in Trondheim and Oslo, Norway; Houston, USA; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
